I've had a retina problem in one eye for two years and now I'm almost blind in that eye I can only see shadows. I've seen several retina specialists but they all say there's no treatment available. Is retina transplant surgery an option for my condition? Are there any other treatments I could try?

While a retina transplant isn't currently a standard treatment for vision loss, there are other potential options and avenues to explore. It's important to understand that treatment for retinal diseases depends on the specific cause and severity of the condition

View allI have keratoconus in my eyes and really want to avoid surgery. I've attached my Oculus Pentacam report can you help me understand how severe my condition is right now? What stage is my keratoconus at and how serious is it? Also, could you explain my corneal thickness readings and what treatment options would work best for this level without needing surgery?
While keratoconus is not curable in the sense of reversing the corneal shape, it can be effectively managed and vision improved without surgery. Treatments like eyeglasses, contact lenses, and corneal cross-linking (CXL) can help control its progression and enhance vision.

My eye power is -11 in both eyes and I really want to get rid of my glasses. Is there any treatment or surgery that can help me? Could you suggest what options might work for my case?
If you're tired of wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses, you may wonder whether LASIK surgery is right for you. LASIK is short for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis. It is a surgery to correct blurry vision. The result of LASIK surgery for more than 99% of people is 20/40 vision or better.
